Rylan Clark doesn't like to complain in restaurants because he "worries" what the public thinks of him.

Rylan Clark doesn't like to complain in restaurants because he 'worries' what the public thinks of him

The 'Supermarket Sweep' presenter would rather pay the bill and just leave if he was left dissatisfied with a meal in an eatery, because he would feel "embarrassed" to complain about his grub.

He said: "I am not a complainer. I get embarrassed if I complain. If I go to a restaurant and it's s*** I say, 'Let's just pay it and go.'

"I think that's because of my job. I'm so worried, so if I say, 'This is disgusting,' they'll say, 'That Rylan was an a*******.' "

The former 'X Factor' star - who last year split from his husband Dan Neal, who he married in 2015 - admitted he would ask to be moved to a different location if he had paid to rent a holiday villa full of cockroaches, but he would prefer to pay for a bad meal and then eat a McDonald's on the way back home.

Speaking on Alan Carr's 'Life’s A Beach' podcast, he added: "I just go with the flow. I can't complain and I get embarrassed if I'm with someone and they moan.

"If I've spent a bit of money on a villa or something and it was running alive with cockroaches I'd say, 'Find me somewhere else that's different.'

"But if it's a meal in a restaurant of something and it's not great [I don't say anything]. If the chicken is pink fine, send it back, but I'm not a complainer.

"I'd rather pay it and get McDonald's on the way home."

Earlier this month, Rylan admitted he struggled after the breakdown of his marriage.

He said: "I got ill and I lost weight, I went down to under 10 stone - and I’m six feet four inches, so that’s not good. The honest truth is that it’s been s***.

“I didn’t deal with what happened and now I am. I felt unwell and it was a very difficult time for me.

"My mum was majorly worried about me, as were all my family. I don’t just disappear for four months - that doesn’t just happen.

"Mum has been a lifesaver to me and one of my biggest regrets of this year was putting my mum through me not being well.

"I needed to get back to me."
